SlotMatrix, the leading casino content aggregator globally, has enhanced its exclusive content collection with the debut of Catsino Royale, a playful slot that merges feline attitude with traditional casino excitement.

Located within a lively cat-themed casino, the game provides swift gameplay that allows players to accumulate increasing rewards and activate various bonus chances with each spin. Featuring stunning visuals, captivating characters, and intricate mechanics, the game combines enjoyable presentation with significant winning possibilities.

Central to the activity is the Coinstack function. Each coin symbol that appears increases the value of the stack, enlarging it and enhancing rewards with every spin. Players activating either the Catsino Wheel or the Stack N Spin bonus will reap the rewards of the total accumulated amount.

Landing four Bonus symbols triggers the Catsino Wheel, filled with rewards that include multipliers of Coinstack and can reach the Grand Jackpot valued at up to 500x. Landing five bonus symbols activates the Stack N Spin feature, which increases the Coinstack and provides several opportunities to re-trigger the wheel for extra rewards.

The Wild Deal feature creates Golden Frames each time Wilds appear. Wilds introduced into current frames enhance their multipliers, and when the Cat Dealer shows up, all frames transform into Wilds.

Only accessible via SlotMatrix, Catsino Royale is upgraded with EveryMatrix’s unique gamification features, such as free spins and leaderboards, and can be effortlessly incorporated with EngageSuite, the comprehensive player loyalty platform.

Carl Gatt Baldacchino, Head of Account Management, SlotMatrix, said: “Catsino Royale blends playful visuals with mechanics that continuously build value. It will be a strong performer for operators looking to add something fun, distinctive, and rewarding to their lobbies.”
